Alien Blackout is a documented cannabis cultivar in the Strain Encyclopedia. It is listed with the parent cross Holy Grail × FAW Family: 80% Indica / 20% Sativa to Large.
About
Alien Blackout is an indica-dominant hybrid bred from a cross of Holy Grail and FAW, carrying a genetic profile that runs approximately 80% indica and 20% sativa. That heavy indica lean shapes nearly every aspect of how this strain presents itself, from its physical structure to the kind of experience users commonly report.
No specific terpene data is available in the current record, so a detailed aroma and flavor breakdown cannot be responsibly offered here. What can be said is that its parentage — Holy Grail and FAW — suggests a lineage with depth, and growers who have worked with the plant often note that indica-heavy genetics in this family tend to express dense, resinous flowers with correspondingly rich aromatic profiles, though individual phenotypes can vary.
On the effects side, Alien Blackout is most commonly described as delivering the kind of heavy, body-forward experience that fits its indica weighting. Users frequently report a strong physical settling accompanied by mental quietude — the sort of effect profile that makes an 80/20 indica-sativa split immediately believable. It is not typically characterized as a strain for high-activity situations.
Grow notes tied specifically to this variety are limited in the available record beyond the genetic family classification. That said, indica-dominant plants of this type generally present with shorter, bushier structure and respond well to training techniques that manage canopy and improve light penetration. The FAW side of the cross is worth keeping in mind when dialing in environment, as the full genetic expression will depend on how each parent's traits blend across individual phenotypes. Growers working with Alien Blackout for the first time would do well to observe carefully through early flower development before committing to a particular feeding or pruning strategy.
From a breeding standpoint, the cross of Holy Grail with FAW that produced Alien Blackout represents a deliberate move toward reinforcing indica characteristics while retaining a modest sativa contribution that keeps the genetic profile from being entirely one-dimensional. Whether used as a standalone cultivar or as potential stock for further breeding work, it carries a lineage combination that gives breeders a clear foundation to build from or selectively push in either direction.
